Chapter 8

Joanna awakened the next morning with another man asleep beside her and covered her face with her hands. Last night she had been so angry with Justin that she had left home and checked into a hotel. Not wanting to be alone she had called Carl to have someone to talk to. He had quickly arrived to comfort her...right out of her clothes and into bed.

Whatever Joanna had thought sex with Carl would be like it certainly had not been the uneventful encounter she'd experienced last night. She had thought that what Justin was able to accomplish easily could be duplicated and she had been wrong. Removing her hands she looked over again at the dark head against the pillow. Shaking him gently she called his name and watched as he stirred awake.

He turned to her. “Hi Joanna, you're even beautiful when you wake up.”

“Although I didn't call you last night for this to happen, I thank you for coming to console me.”

Carl smiled at her and she continued.

“But, you should go now. I'm very confused and I need to think things through.”

His smile faded and he sat up. “You're having second thoughts.”

Joanna shook her head. “I never had first thoughts Carl. I was angry and reckless, things I'd thought I'd outgrown.”

Carl touched her face. “You called me for a reason Joanna. You wanted to be with me as much as I wanted you.” He turned her eyes to his. “Justin put you out of your own home. He said he doesn't love you. What is there to think about?”

“I have a son Carl. He's only seven years old. I have to think about him,” she said softly.

Carl moved her hair from her face. “We'll take care of Jordan.”

She looked at him. “He loves his father very much. This won't be easy.”

“You worry too much Joanna. Relax and let me take care of you,” he whispered before kissing her gently. “We can talk some more tonight.”

Joanna nodded and he moved away to get dressed. She watched from the bed as he gathered his clothing and stepped into the bathroom. Joanna knew she would have to face Justin today and she was afraid. She'd gone too far and she knew it. Now that she'd calmed down, she hoped they could at least work things out amicably.

Joanna climbed out of bed and dressed quickly before Carl returned from the bathroom. He smiled at her and crossed the room to take her into his arms. “I'll see you later.”

She nodded and looked up at him nervously. “Everything will be fine Joanna,” he promised.

Carl kissed her again softly before heading out the door. He drove to his house and prepared to go into the office. He would tell Justin that since he no longer wanted Joanna, she now belonged to him. He had no problem taking care of Joanna and her son. As he walked to his car he smiled, not only was he getting Justin's wife but also his son.

Carl walked into his office and found his desk empty except for a single white envelope addressed to him.
